It's a shame that Johnny Rotten will always be remembered more for the Sex Pistols because PIL was one great, positively out there band. Listening to them today, with some of this stuff being 25 years old it's still pretty bold and shocking, even with a ton of bands out there now that are directly ripping their music and their shtick off (The Rapture, Radio 4, The Liars, etc.).

In any case a great, overlooked band. I was lucky enough to see them in their mid period sometime in the 80's. I think it was after the Album/CD/Cassette release, which in retrospect is even stranger due to the presence of Steve Vai of all people on guitar.

PIL was way ahead of the curve.

PIL was/is still one of my favorite bands.

they were awesome!! I also discovered fellow DUer RationalRose was at the same show! too funny...

Was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

with local hardcore band SST opening for them.

They were great.

A whiney drummer sued him for back pay but the drummer lost the suit. Oooooh, it was hilarious. I love PiL!
